Hi,
I have a flat file of LRECL 550. Key is account number. There are multiple entries for one account number. I need to code an easytrieve to find out what is the maximum number of records for an account number. Please someone suggest some ideas.

Someone else using your system is probably not completely new to Easytrieve. . . To repeat:

Quote:

Suggest you clone some already working code that does something similar on your system and make whatever modifications are needed for this requirement.

If you are not willing to speak with your peers, there are some examples in the Easytrieve documentation. If your organization is licensed to use the product, all of the material may be downloaded for free from the CA Support site.

You also need to get the correct execution jcl from someone - this is site-specific.

Thanks Titan and Dick... I was trying myself to code the easytrieve program and i was succeeded in coding match programs( after learning sample documents). But i am facing difficulty in reading a file and increasing the counter since i am not able to understand the READ concept.
